I think by definition the event horizon can only be crossed in one direction (towards the center). By this I mean nothing escapes once it is past that point. It's defined by being the point of no return

It is the point at which nothing, no matter how fast or massive, can possibly return from the gravitational pull. For instance: light, traveling at the speed of light in a vacuum, cannot escape once it has crossed the event horizon; it's pulled inevitably inward.
